This cheat code did not work upon Oni's release, and it was long believed that Developer Mode had been cut from retail versions of Oni; it had only been observed to work in the [[Mac beta]] that was leaked during Oni's beta testing. However, this mode is actually present in ''all'' available versions of Oni (except PS2). It just needs to be unlocked, as the community learned [[History_of_Oni_modding/The_tale_of_Dev_Mode|back in 2006]]. | ||

=== | ===Features=== | ||
Many of the features listed below no longer work as intended, or work at all, either due to changes to the code made at the end of development or the absence in retail Oni of resources that the features were intended to call upon, such as [[level0_Tools]]. Nevertheless, some of these features are helpful for modders, most notably the camera controls and dev console. | |||
====Hotkeys==== | ====Hotkeys==== | ||
Below are Oni's hardcoded mappings for Developer Mode functions. The Alt key (Option key on Macs) can be used in placed of Ctrl. Alternate mappings are welcome if you have another version of Oni that you would like to have listed below. | Below are Oni's hardcoded mappings for Developer Mode functions.

===Runtime scripting=== | |||
====Basic idea==== | |||
(Almost) anything you write in scripts you can enter at runtime with the console. The only thing you can't do is register new variables and functions. | (Almost) anything you write in scripts you can enter at runtime with the console.

If you press an illegal key during console input (such as F1), the input display will freeze : hit '''Tab''' a few times to fix. | If you press an illegal key during console input (such as F1), the input display will freeze : hit '''Tab''' a few times to fix. | ||
====Limitations==== | |||
Obviously, if you have no console output, it's a bit frustrating. Even more so if console ''input'' is invisible -- you're in for some ''blindfolded'' scripting then. Still, there are a few commands which you can type in as complements to regular cheats: | Obviously, if you have no console output, it's a bit frustrating.

:'''chr_nocollision 0 1''' and '''chr_nocollision 0 0''' enable/disable no-clipping. When in no-clipping mode, you can't fall down; thus, jumping makes you flail in midair, and eventually you die (so be careful about that) | :'''chr_nocollision 0 1''' and '''chr_nocollision 0 0''' enable/disable no-clipping.
